For comparison, when the
Harpers gauge at our
launch @ 1929 Blacks Bridge Road, Annville reads the following
heights:

5.5’, the
Road to site #1 is almost covered, not accessible
and partly flooded;

7’ our ramp is covered to
the top gravel border;

9’ the swell puts water onto sites 1-4 & site 8;
and

10.56', only sites 26-35 do not flood.

GuagesNational Weather Service provides forecasts for Harper's
and Hershey gauges. Check the gauge nearest your start point.
Beginners should reschedule at 2.2' deep.
Reschedule
if experienced, but water is rising between 3.5' & 4', or below .4'.Kayaks may float a bit
lower. Memorial Lake is an option when the Swatara is too high or
too low.

Use caution at dams: With groups, avoid
low-head dam in Jonestown. Uneven portage on left bank, which disappears
into tree line in high water. Hershey dam portage is also on the left. Long, but flat, mowed route. Take out at feeder stream on left before warning sign.

I want to do my part to repair and maintain the Armar
Bordner cabin in Swatara State Park. Made of hand-hewn logs by the teacher and
his students, perfectly placed beside Acrigg’s falls, and a lesson in eminent
domain, the cabin is historically significant to the local area. The Swatara
Creek Watershed Association is in need of shingles, nails, plywood, cement,
lumber, insurance, security, landscaping, interpretive signage…to perform the
basics at the cabin, which will be open to the public after completion. To help
with this local interpretive history project, Enclosed please find my
contribution of $______________.
